I really want one of those weird algea eater fish, but my tank is new so no algea grows and the wafers are a pain. How long is the wait for algea?
 
It depends on how much light is hitting the tank, and how much nutrients you have. Mine grow like weeds, several days after cleaning, the glass is again noticeably green.
